So among ALL the tiktok, youtube videos about self irrigation system at home, this is the only one that shows results! Thank you
Just what I needed to know. Simple and precise. Thanks!
Excellent video! Ideas... 1) cut a slit on the top of the chopstick and lay the wool yarn across the top in the slit, and 2) if you do not have thick wool like you have in the video, you can use thin wool and braid it until you get the thickness you need.
Does it have to be wool or can you use cotton shoe laces?
@@blingbling3730 I use a microfibre cloth and cut it in strings, works like a charm
@@blingbling3730 Sure you can!
This actually worked for me, I was on 6 weeks vacation, my indoor plants survived as I returned.
I want I’m going to try this again nervous hahah ! But this video was great and simple thank you !
Best self-watering video, hands down.
Fantastic, well explained, I also have 750 plants on my house terrace, I have done in one planter and it is working well, I am planning at large scale, keep it up, awaiting new video, regards, chandel from BHARAT.
This is the smartest self-watering vid - well done!!
That’s just a wonderful option👍Thanks guys!
I'm going away for 3 weeks and have been looking for a good idea that wasn't complicated. This is perfect. Thank you 😊🌱🌷🌹🌱
did it work?
@@ImTheCookieMonster95 i guess we'll never know
We need to know if this worked 😅
genius way to push that string through, thank you so much!
Awesome tip! Thank you a lot! Will save them during my next trips 😅😊
I’ve transitioned every plant I have to hydroponics all 98 plants to water, including my orchids. Thriving now better than before
I’ll have to hire someone but in the end it’s worth it! No soil
I do the same thing but have a wine bottle full of water next to the plant and just have the wick go into the top of the plants. Even outdoors in a subtropical climate it lasts for weeks. It makes keeping thirsty plants like Basil much less trouble.
Hello, I apologize if the answer is there but I wanted to make sure since English is not my first language,
Does this method works for basil plant?
I have a basil plant, I place it outdoor in South facing window, I am not sure if the water from this method would be enough for my basil since I water it 2 times a day usually,
@@FunSoSoToTo It works for my basil, although if the air is too dry the wick can stop working because if part of it dries out it stops working. Also if the bottle is unprotected in the sun algae will grow in the bottle which also can make the wick not work. Cover it in dark paper or aluminum foil unless the bottle is very dark.
@@macrumpton thank you very very much! I am really grateful for the information
Hello, I'm keen to try this too, do you place the water level in the wine bottle above or below relative to the wick that's entering the plant soil?
@@macrumpton use kerosene lamp wick, find the one that the rope type wick (some lamps has sock type wick) , it doesn't dry out easily due to sun or wind. Might be rare but I think ppl still made them, but it's not long you might need to use 2 wicks jointed. Thickness is about the tip of kids pinky, sometimes it has a thin copper inside to make it a little stiff and bendable
I will definitly try for this summer! Thank you so much!!!
Perfect - I will try this for my outdoor plants, when away, and even then: the bucket beneath them will refill itself when its raining ^^ and if not, the plants will stay alive from the bucketwater I fill up.
Awesome!! Thank you guys!
Very well indeed!! Bravo
Thank you so much for sharing your tip. I am very grateful.
That is the best watering system
Love this 🌱❤️
Nice one, thanks for sharing!
So simple! Thanks!
Thank you so much! ❤
Thank you so so soo much for this
Thanks for this video!
Great tutorial, thank you!
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks so much for sharing the chop stick trick! I’m going to try it!!!
did it work?
@@ImTheCookieMonster95 are you find out did it work or not finally ?
Do you know if the dye in the yarn could get dissolved into the water and poison the plants?
Thanks for your video! Does this kind of watering keep the soil moist or wet ? Because I need to keep watch on my snake plant moist level.
Thank you guys for this! I was so worried for my plants and this saved their lives (and mine) :)
It's a nice trick, I will definitely use it! Although not all my plants are planted in plastic pots with holes. Some of them have
hydrogranules at the bottom of a ceramic pot to absorb extra moisture. Do you have some recommendations for this kind of situation where it is not possible to pull a string through the pot as such?
You can have the wick go over the top of the pot, although dont have the water container too high or it will drain it too fast.
Thank you for sharing
That was great! Wonderful explanation. Thanks 🙏
Thanks for sharing
Thank you
You can also use strokes of an old t-shirt (cotton) if you don't have wool - i even once "burried" strokes of cotton fabric in my outdoorplants to keep them alive, as the fabric will stay wet longer than the soil when it rains.
Thanks guys! Will definitely try this lifehack. The previous thing I tried was to insert upside-down plastic bottle with holes in the lid into the soil, and it didn't work. The bottle fell out and a precious plant died 😢
I am trying it now. Does it matter how much space between bottom of plant and water?
Does it have to be real wool? Or acrylic ones will do?
Great tip! Thank you 😊
Is there a better kind of wool to use then others? I’m assuming non dyed but other then that?
Any non treated natural fiber works
Does it have to be 100% wool?
do you have tips for garden plants on the ground (not in a pot)? it always die when i leave for weeks of vacation
Soaker hoses or drip irrigation lines on a timer.
Awesome! Thanks
you welcome!! hope it helped!
:)
Do you think this would work with thick cotton or bamboo string or fabric instead of wool?
Just use mop string
I'm just double checking. Do you mean wool, as in real wool from a sheep, or do you mean yarn from the craft store?
I use a microfibre cloth and cut it in strings
Did anyone try this here?
ERROR LOGIC NOT FOUND SENT ME 🤣🤣🤣
Artificial roots
is that... Banana tree?
But, if you have 100+ plants? And a cat that’ll knock all the water reservoirs over? Lol
Mosquito breeding
Too much talking
